In this empowering episode, Claire O’Brien (Honest and Goodness Nutrition) sits down with Vicky Shilling, a self-belief business coach, to explore the real reasons people get stuck - often not lack of strategy but lack of self-belief. Vicky shares her insights on how self-doubt disguises itself as procrastination, perfectionism and people-pleasing, keeping us from reaching our full potential.

Through her coaching work and personal journey, Vicky has uncovered that many entrepreneurs don’t need more information - they need the confidence to implement what they already know.

She introduces the concepts of the Inner Protector (the voice that keeps us small) and we discuss the Inner Mentor (the voice that moves us forward) offering practical tools to navigate these internal dynamics.

This episode is packed with actionable strategies and powerful mindset shifts for anyone looking to build confidence, take action, and move past the invisible barriers holding them back.

If you’ve ever found yourself stuck despite having all the tools, this conversation will change the way you approach self-belief and success.
